If you're catching Blaine County on that TG, which looks likely from the radio ID, I would imagine it's simply the SO dispatch. Montana counties do have coroners, but they are generally just the Sheriff and sometimes a select couple deputies, unlikely to be a separate channel. The nice thing about Montana is that most counties, at least for SO, use the county number in badge numbers, so grabbing a 24-XX callsign essentially confirms the location. Butte, of course is different, because Butte.

Some new Talkgroups (TGid) that have showed up over the past few weeks.
Maybe others can verify these also.
TGid 8579 Pondera County Sheriff based upon radio id of 2612xxx
TGid 6761 Liberty County Sheriff based upon radio id of 4812001
TGid 183 State ? radio id was from here in Fergus County 812xxx SO, TGid 181 in RR database shows ”MT State Incidents”

Tgid 284 looks to be another Jefferson County Sheriff talkgroup in addition to the 283 that's already documented in RR.
Heard Deputy 51-18 looking for Dispatch from radio id 5111010. (but no reply)

284 also happens to be the callsign (KNHC284) of Butte Dispatch on their 155.685 analog freqs. Likely unrelated but I'm so used to hearing '284' as Butte Dispatch that it makes me wonder if Butte didn't snatch that TG for themselves and the Jeffco Deputy was just accidentially tuned to the neighboring county.

TG 284 would more than likely a Jefferson Co. talk group. And just for future reference I'm pretty sure you can't just snatch a TG and they have nothing to do with callsign.

I realize that, but it was interesting because, it sounds like something that a Silver Bow Co. politician on the Interoperability Montana group carving out the TGs would demand, just 'cause.
As coldwindminerals said, "Butte, of course is different, because Butte."

Heard "Dispatch, Medic 4" and "Medic 1 on Admin" from radio 552654 to Talkgroup 59.
Sounded like a St Peter's Ambulance so possibly another Lewis and Clark County or City of Helena TG?

This week with the “West Wind” fire that went thru Denton I logged a new TGid of 91, the
rid/uid’s were from Lewis & Clark County, 542285, 542265 & 5413XX I’m sure they were here for the Mutual Aid that came
from all around the state.👍
Also a few of the State Mutual Aid simplex frequencies were active:
Red. 154.07. PL 156.7
Coral. 154.265 PL 156.7
Gold. 153.905 PL 156.7

2 new Talkgroups showed up yesterday on the South Moccasin site here north of Lewistown.
TGid 12315 with some ”test, test” NO uid/rid showed at all while testing.
TGid 2523 with some test and long counts, uid/rid was 6687xxx which I would guess are the State radio technicians, other
uid/rid was 1012xxx which would fall in line with Carbon County Sheriff.
Unless some new tower sites have been put up down in the Red Lodge area, the closest site is “Greycliff” well north of RL.
Hopefully I will get more traffic to help identify these 2 new Talkgroups.

Here from VA for a wedding and did some research. Believe I found 2 new sites, Billings , it’s gotta be somewhere in Downtown maybe near 27th street. CC is 851.03750, NAC 160, RFSS 2, Site ID 15. Laurel is the other, 155.55750, NAC 16F, RFSS 2, Site ID 16. Been getting 1607, sounds like prison ops. Getting 12315, Law Dispatch call signs heard have been 390’s. Also 2523, RIDs 1090010, sounds like law dispatch. Found most of the info in an old thread in here

Thanks for the updates in Yellowstone County. I have heard the TGid 12315 a lot up here in Fergus County recently. Unfortunately I cannot get a rid/uid on any of the transmissions. But based upon the verbal traffic it is definitely Yellowstone County Sheriff. Thanks for identifying the 2 new control channels (CC). We don’t get a lot of input here on RR from very many people in the Billings area.
Enjoy your time here in “Big Sky Country” this is a Great time of year!

I had another radio with the conventional Lockwood Sheriff channel and that’s how I ID’d it. Definitely enjoying the views.

Yes thanks for the update like someone else said we don't have much input in the part of the state from people in the area. I don't make it that direction often so not able to run unitrunker there. On another note any else been picking up other unknow TG I been hearing TG 67 a lot lately. I however not enough to figure out who is using it.
